Introduction
Hey there! So, let me tell you about this beautiful gem of a song, “If I Ever Thought You’d Change Your Mind” by Agnetha Fältskog. You know Agnetha, right? She’s that iconic voice from ABBA that we all love. Well, in this track, she steps out on her own, and oh boy, does she shine!
Picture this: you’re sitting quietly, maybe with a warm cup of tea, and those first notes start to play. Instantly, you’re wrapped up in this comforting yet bittersweet embrace. Agnetha’s voice is like a gentle whisper, full of emotion and introspection. It’s a song about longing and hope, the kind that tugs at your heartstrings and makes you reflect on those “what if” moments in life.
Originally a hit by Cilla Black in the 1970s, Agnetha brings her own magic to it. Her interpretation gives the song a fresh yet nostalgic feel that resonates with anyone who’s ever held onto the hope of a love rekindled. It’s like she’s sharing a secret with you—one filled with vulnerability and a little bit of wistfulness.
One thing I love about this song is its timeless quality. It’s as if Agnetha is reaching out from the past, yet the emotions are very much in the present. It makes you think about those people in your life you’ve wished would change their minds. Have you ever been there? I know I have!
And here’s a fun tidbit: Agnetha recorded this song during her solo comeback in 2004, after quite a long break from the music scene. Isn’t it inspiring how she returned with such grace and authenticity? It’s like she never missed a beat, reminding us of her incredible talent and the power of music to tell stories that connect us all.
So, next time you find yourself in a reflective mood, give “If I Ever Thought You’d Change Your Mind” a listen. Let Agnetha’s voice be your companion; you might just find a little piece of yourself in her song.

Lyrics
I would bring you flowers in the morning
Wild roses as the sun begins to shine
Sweet perfume in tiny jeweled caskets
If I thought you’d ever change your mind
I would take you where the music’s sweetest
And feed you winter fruits and summer wine
Show you things you’ve only read in story books
If I thought you’d ever change your mind
I would bring you happiness
Wrapped up in a box and tied with a yellow bow
I would bring you summer rain and rainbow skies to make your garden grow
And in the winter snow my songs would keep you from the cold
But what use of flowers in the morning
When the garden they should grow in is not mine
And what use is sunshine if I’m crying
And my falling tears are mingled with the wine
I would bring you happiness
Wrapped up in a box and tied with a yellow bow
I would bring you rainbow skies
And summer rain to make your garden grow
And in the winter snow, my songs would keep you from the cold
I would bring you flowers in the morning
Wild roses when the sun begins to shine
Winter fruits and summer wine
Sweet perfume and columbine
If I thought you’d ever change your mind
If I thought you’d ever change your mind
